pkgsrc-wip/shadow/TODO
Jeremy C. Reed a0cf7bfd2f I think I first made this package over a year ago.
This is the Shadow Password Suite for Linux.  This is the version
maintained by Tomasz Kloczko.

The Shadow password file utilities package includes the programs necessary
to convert traditional V7 UNIX password files to the SVR4 shadow password
format, and additional tools to maintain password and group files (that
work with both shadow and non-shadow passwords).

These tools include su, vipw, passwd, login, chsh, usermod and many more.
In addition, this provides the libmisc and libshadow libraries.

** this package is incomplete -- it has conflicts **

use configurations under $PREFIX --sysconfdir
maybe install from doc, etc examples
use this buildlink2 for util-linux

shadow has conflicts with sysutils/user too?
gentoo says
# Do not install this login, but rather the one from
# pam-login, as this one have a serious root exploit
# with pam_limits in use.
INSTALL uses -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP}
so setuid root tools don't work!
suidbins = su
suidubins = chage chfn chsh expiry gpasswd newgrp passwd
later consider having dedicated users and/or groups for this
login.defs needed for su and sshd (and others)
so provide that file
but the manpage says: no longer used by programs ... handled by PAM now
